Brilliant article. I am having flashbacks to my tour of duty in Vietnam 35 years ago -- same-same coverage of soldiers and war. Some things never change, embedding or no embedding.

We're at war.

We're at war with radical Islam and with the Left.

Journalists have declared their allegiance in this fight.

Excellent find kattracks! I wish I could believe that some reporters distorting the truth right now would listen to this condemnation...

I recently read an article about TV media that mentioned that we need to remember that every second of the news is a scripted, edited event.

This article can also be connected to "LEAKES".

What covering the press uses "THEIR" right to break laws.

There is no doubt in my mind that the "press" who got the leaks know darn well that they cannot be connected to President Bush. We would know who did the leaking if a connection could be made to President Bush.

The key question that not one of them will answer is WHO sent Mr. Wilson to Niger. This being the case it makes that bit of "NEWS" left out of focus and totally ignored.

So how is it a "FREE PRESS" when their own deeds cause harm to a "FREE NATION"? There is no comparison to an individual giving ones life to maintain a "FREE NATION" and individual gaining for oneself to plant lies for their own beliefs.

There stories have caused harm to this nation and some in the military. There are no ethics in those who use their "right" to orchestrate events that cause harm.

To an extent few journalists will admit, terror as we know it depends on the media as its accomplice, amplifying the terrorist's deeds and shaping successes out of terrorist failures - the opposite of the media's approach to American efforts.

This bears repeating and bold text.

[MosesKnows]

journalists are simply innocent bystanders with no responsibility for the outcome of events.

This observation is well worth the repeating. The difference between a reporter and a journalist is that a reporter reports the news whilst the journalist stars in the news.

Superb article -- let's keep it bumped.

Ping everyone, everyone!

A good counter to the serial doom and gloomers who have infected this site.

[alrea]

They've already made a success of post-modern terrorism

Outstanding article.

[WarEagle]

But don't tell me you're reporting honestly, when you're only reporting the negative one-tenth of one per cent of what's happening, while playing up each terrorist attack.

And doing it for the absolute basest of motives, partisan political advantage for the left.

I always laugh my butt off at the libs screaming that the right has this "relentless propaganda machine" while they are getting short shrift in the media. That must be some alternative universe they live in, or some really good stuff they are smoking.

[RottiBiz]

"Must read" BUMP!

A very satisfying rant, and oh so true.

[Pagey]

The media form as decisive a strategic factor as our military. Its professed neutrality is a sham. Distorted reporting is at least as deadly as any bomb in our arsenal.

This is certainly one of the better articles I've read on this topic.
